And Finally... Improve your brain - by juggling (apparently)
Scientists have improved people's brains by teaching them to juggle.
Researchers in Oxford say it proves we can train our brains even as adults by learning skills, and we should "use it or lose it".
A group of 24 young people were given six weeks' juggling training, and MRI scans revealed changes in their brains' white matter, which controls movements.
Lead researcher Dr Heidi Johansen-Berg told Nature Neuroscience journal: "We found the structure of the brain is ripe for change."
